This poll came from a request by Happy Jack, based on his observations that at least half the bands he knows have a bassist responsible for the PA. Please register your interest below so we can clarify what interest there might be on BC for this sub group. The poll will close a week from now, on September 4th.

OK I'll take a look and see if I can repeat the same thing.
-
How about you set up a poll? That way the level of interest might be more than just a suspicion.
-
So there's no white X in a corner somewhere...? Could you please PM me a screenshot of your mobile? It'll help me understand your concerns a bit more clearly.

The criteria in my mind would be how much demand is there, how much value will it bring the membership as a whole and is there a risk it might make the site more cluttered?

Sorry about that. Can you remove it by clicking on it?

Have a look now, I've added it to your basket.

We updated the forum software this evening (Saturday). Everything appears to be working OK but if you spot any bugs, particularly in getting access to the site or entering text, let us know. We have also made a change to advertising for guests (viewers who are not logged in) and that'll come online in the next few days.

All gone apart from one which I'm shipping back to home. -

We are overdue for an update. Maybe it'll help? -
Have you cleared your browser cache by pressing CRTL+F5?

Cherrs. That was going to be my fall back plan.

Does anyone know where I could get a replacement edit up/down knob?

Try playing around with these buttons.

The most accurate measurement I can make is 22mm at the nut and 24mm at the 12th.

Yes they have double action truss rods.

I've replied to your PM and added the info to the listing.

I rediscovered these recently while having a bit of a clear out. They're pretty much surplus to requirements now as my tastes have gone in a different direction since I bought them. They are identical to the necks fitted to the Q and XQ5 line of bases from the mid 90's, when Music Yo were selling Steinberger parts online. Fantastic necks, very stiff yet warm and full sounding with a consistent response all over the neck. Each neck is 34" scale, features 24 frets and includes a head piece with five brass ferrule embedded in the heel. The headpiece doesnt have single ball end string clamps so a string clamping arrangement will be needed. They are cast in a single piece from a mould, rather than hollow formed from layers such as Status and Modulus necks. I'm not sure about fingerboard radius but either 14 or 16". The nut is 45mm wide The neck heel is tapered, check the photos for measurements. 68mm 64.5mm 80mm to the line Heel depth 26mm There are four necks for sale in total and the price is per neck, excluding royal mail postage which I'll confirm in due course. They're offered on a first come first serve basis. One of the necks has lost a little of the black finish and has a slightly different headstock design as you'll see in the pictures. These are purely cosmetic differences. Feel welcome to drop me a line with any questions. If you fancy collecting from west central London, I'm in the UK until next Wednesday. After that point, a friend will be posting them out for me. EDIT: One has sold already. Three left Two sold, two more left.

I'll be long gone by then!

That's a pretty looking thing!

No pics? It would have been great for the FB page!

I've owned a Spector NS6 Euro and still own a Shuker 6. I've discovered the c string on a 6 is hard to hear in the mix. It overlaps with too many other instruments in the mix and it's rarely required for meat and potatoes type songs. Plus it makes the neck really wide if it's rarely used and, if I'm honest, finding the A string with muscle memory can be a little overwhelming sometimes. I've concluded that the 6 is probably best left for trios or duos where it has the space in the mix to be heard. I find fours kind of limiting in the low end. I like having that B string to stamp some authority on things. I did consider at one point restringing the Shuker F#-B-E-A-D-G for an experiment but it's days in my care are probably numbered now.

I've tried a lot of onboard preamps and Mr East has hit a lovely sweet spot with the higher frequencies on his preamps. Plus for the 3 band U retro if you nail the sweepable mids and bass in the right place, you can get a serious amount of mid range growl. I have three of them now and the one in my Status has turned it from Series I into a Series II in terms of timbre.

There have been some great updates on here over the last few weeks - thank you to everyone who has posted in this thread over the last 4-5 weeks. Some of you may have noticed them appearing on the BC Facebook page. I've tended to go for updates that have an 'ooh' factor about them, posts that make you sit up and take notice. Posts don't have to be celebrity based, a relatable story is sometimes just as good! For example an anecdote about arriving at a gig only to realise you had left your bass behind on the pavement outside the front of your apartment (yes, that WAS me). Or maybe an interesting sit in with the band. Keep 'em coming, it's a great way for everyone to check each others gigs out!

This is usually what happens with any guitar or bass related technological innovation that claims to offer an overwhelming number of options. It's why sliding pickups never really became a thing. Or those passive mid filter circuits that were on Gibson basses in the seventies.
